Senator Boxer: Valuing Every Human Life
Dear Friend:

Though we are in the final months of the Bush Administration, its officials continue to work to fundamentally alter some of the most basic foundations, cornerstones and computations used by the federal government for years.

Recently, it was discovered that the Environmental Protection Agency appears to have lowered the statistical value of a human life from $7.8 million per life five years ago to $6.9 million today. This recalculation of almost $1 million per life can have grave consequences for a range of environmental analyses and cost/benefit comparisons.

The EPA’s decision to reduce the value of a human life when it considers the benefits of new environmental regulations is outrageous and must be reversed. EPA may not think Americans are worth all that much, but the rest of us believe the value of an American life to our families, our communities, our workplaces and our nation is no less than it has ever been.

This new math has got to go. If these reports are confirmed, I will be introducing legislation to reverse this unconscionable decision at the earliest opportunity because it will lead to far weaker pollution protections for us and our families.

Sincerely,

Barbara Boxer
United States Senator

Valuing every human life
Except, those that are in the womb, those that have had their lives taken from them by a murderer, those whose family has offered to take over the care of their daughter that the husband wants to kill. Or those affected by the gas crises since she and her friends are much more concerned with animal life than human in that respect and let’s not forget the countless American citizens lives that are killed daily by the other humans she prefers to value… Don’t you just love it when democrats preach to you, because you know you can nap out and not miss a thing…..
